He voted for it in 05. The PLCAA just doesn't actually do exactly what many here claim it does.

As far as Bernie's exact stance today I don't really know. I simply haven't researched it that much because guns and gun violence won't be changed with any of the ideas any of the candidates or current politicians are putting forth. Even Obama's executive actions really won't do anything except create a windfall for the dealers and manufacturers.

The fact is there are no politicians with the will to make meaningful changes. It's all smoke and mirrors for campaigns and nothing more.

And I don't feel you're being dense. I wish I could go into more detail, but I'm doing chores in between posts.
